“As an NGO, we are calling on the Federal Government of Nigeria to support and encourage women who are willing to contest for elections in Nigeria, women should be better sensitized to take political offices,” Bello, a women’s right activist said.

“There should be a quota system or special political slots allocated to women in Nigeria to enable them contest on a more even keel in elections,” she added.

“Nigerian women should come out boldly, take charge and contest for political offices,” she concluded.
